UFC Fight Night 29 medial suspensions: Mike Pierce suspended 180 days

After he was on the receiving end of an ankle-lock submission that ultimately prompted the firing of his opponent, Mike Pierce has been tagged with a 180-day medical suspension following Wednesday’s UFC Fight Night 29.

MMAjunkie.com today obtained the list of suspensions from Comissao Atletica Brasileira de MMA (CABMMA), Brazil’s regulatory MMA body, which oversaw the Oct. 9 event. The FOX Sports 1-televised event took place at Jose Correa Arena in the Brazilian city of Barueri.

However, Pierce’s 180-day suspension can end early if a physician clears him of knee and ankle injuries after an examination.

Erick Silva, who suffered a vicious knockout loss to Dong Hyun Kim in the co-headliner, received the only other lengthy suspension. He’s out 60 days with no contact during training for 45 days for precautionary reasons.

Demian Maia: suspended 30 days with no contact during training for 21 days
